I believe breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If you eat at least a piece fruit for breakfast you still get a lot of energy for the day. Having breakfast can help you and your brain through-out the day, because believe me you don't won't to be working with an empty stomach. Sadly not everyone agree's with me that breakfast is the most important meal, what do you think? Comment below.The Arguments I Read

According to numerous researchers and fitness experts, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. They argue that people who eat breakfast will have more energy, be in a better mood, be able to think more clearly, do better at school and end up healthier than people who don’t eat breakfast.

Interestingly, not everyone agrees. In fact, some people believe that breakfast is not the most important meal of the day because people often eat too much food at breakfast time, gain weight and become unhealthy. They think that it is better to skip breakfast and eat a number of small meals later in the day.

It's morning time, I have to get food into my stomach. My family and I went to the closest restaurant near us. We looked at the the most common breakfast. White rice, fish, meso soup and natto (fermented beans). To be honest I don't think fish is good for my family to eat in the morning. In New Zealand we would eat baked beans and scrambled eggs on toast. If I had to chose between this breakfast's I would chose baked beans and scrambled eggs on toast... Why? Because I don't eat fish a lot. Also because I like the melted butter on the freshly made toast.

If were're traveling to Japan then we NEED to know some important phrases.Good Morning =おはようございます OhayōgozaimasuGoodbye = さようなら Sayōnara

I chose this book because there are lot's of problems to be solved. The books are re-telling the movie which is such a good idea... Why? Because someone might not be able to watch the movie so they have the book to read. In the comments below tell me if you agree with me or disagree. Katniss and Peeta are having some problems and I can't wait to find out how they solve the problems. The Book ReviewAgainst all odds, Katniss has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and her longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol - a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create. Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest she's afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her even more is that she's not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol's cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can't prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.

I've read lot's of books this year and can't image boarding a plane without something to read. I'm going to list three books you should check out and read, take on a plane or read whenever you're traveling.Book 1: ByJack Heath - Scream: The Squid Slayer

This is an adventure type book and has lot's of mysteries. Two girls best friends are trying to find answers to solve why the hear daunting moaning in a forest close by. They stumble across a massive squid and are surprised. They find more mysteries to solve and more answers to find. Book 2: ByR.L. Stine - Goosebumps Horror Land: The Streets Of Panic

This book is good for anyone who likes mysteries and horror. Goosebumps books aren't too scary but they are a thriller. Two kids, Luke and Lizzie think they'll be safe in Panic Park... But there wrong. Panic Park is home to The Menace, a two-faced villain with a wicked plan to trap them both. Book 3: By R.L. Stine - Goosebumps - The Scarecrow Walks At Night

Again this book is for anyone who like horror. A girl called Jodie loves visiting her grandparents' farm. Her grandma make the best chocolate chip pancakes and her grandpa tells the scariest stories... But this summer the farm has really changed. Grandma and Grandpa are really worn (tired) out. They replaced the single scarecrow with twelve unpleasant-looking ones. One night Jodie sees something really odd. The scarecrows seem to be moving.

Safety is number one when traveling, no matter what vehicle or how long you're traveling. In this case my vehicle is a plane, an Air New Zealand plane. From Auckland to Japan which is a 10 hour and 50 minute ride. On a plane you MUST have your seat-belt on when you see the seat- belt light on. No matter what you MUST have your seat-belt on. If you have any phones of devices make sure to put it on airplane mode as Wi-fi is unavailable on a plane, but you can use Bluetooth. Make sure those small devices are kept in your clothing or in your care-on bags... Also if you're a bag is with you and the plane starts just put it under the seat in front of you.If your plane is falling down fast then put your feet firm on the ground and lean your head on the seat in front of you... If there isn't a seat in front of you then place both of your hands on you head and stay calm.For more information check out the Air New Zealand safety videos:Air New Zealand ‘Men In Black’ videoAir New Zealand‘Safety in Hollywood’video

Have you been to Wellington? I haven't... If I could go to Wellington:I would visit Mount Victoria. Why you ask well... I want to look at the 360-degree views from the top of Mount Victoria. I would go with my parents and have a picnic up there.I would also go to the Seal Coast Safari . One because I personally think seals are adorable and they remind me of my cat.To get to the 'Seal Coast' you'll travel through private land, not accessible by the public. You drive for 20 rugged kilometers along the beach, over rocks and across small rivers, to Tongue Point. Home to a colony of adorable New Zealand fur seals.

One of the most popular activities in Madrid, the capital city of Spain, is called ‘Bullfighting.’ It has been a part of Spanish culture for centuries. Not everyone supports bullfighting in Spain. In fact, about 30% of the population want it to be banned completely.I personally don't think Bullfighting is such a good idea. Firstly because people can get several injures or could die. Secondly it's animal abuse to bulls and lastly once the bull is out you have to kill it which is very sad😞.In the comments below tell me your opinion on bullfighting.

Have you ever been overseas? Do you know a lot about the country you're going to? Before you go overseas it is important that you learn a bit about the country you're visiting. Before I go to Japan I need to know the basics.

The capital city of Japan is Tokyo. From July the 31st this year Tokyo's population has grown a hep. 13.62 million people live in Tokyo today. January is the coldest month at5°C but, is the most sunniest month.

Tokyo is located in the northwestern shore of Tokyo Bay. Japanese is the most common language in Tokyo .

Want To learn about Japan? Well this blog post is just the right thing you need to read!Japan hosted the 1964 Summer Olympic games in Tokyo and will again in 2020. They also hosted the 1972 and 1998 Winter Olympic Games in Sapporo and Nagano. In 2014 on the 10th of October it was the fiftieth anniversary since the 1964 Summer Olympics.

Japanese cuisine has become popular around the world. Some well-known dishes are sushi, sashimi and tempura. These foods are made with raw fish and some cooked prawns.

Japan sits along the “Pacific Ring of Fire”, so has many volcanoes and experiences many earthquakes. In 2011, an earthquake hit Japan and created a tsunami which resulted in much devastation. It was a Friday afternoon a disaster struck as a massive 8.9 magnitude earthquake generated a wall of water that surged over the east coast of the island nation, sweeping many to their deaths.

In the Holidays' I'll be learning abut Japan and pretending I'm travelling in Japan, and you can join me! Japan is a country in the Pacific ocean made up of 6,852 islands. The four largest islands are called: Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku. Japan is located to the east of Russia, China and Korea.

The population in Japan is unreal... just about 127.1 million people are living there. There are four main cities. These cities are Kyoto, Hiroshima, Sendai and Osaka. Tokyo is the capital city of Japan. The *climate in Japan is mostly temperate however, it does *vary from north to south with colder temperatures (including snow) found in the north.

Japan is knowen for Sumo wrestling, baseball, football (soccer), judo, karate and kendo. Japan has 4 national lcons: 1. The cherry blossom tree, 2. The koi fish, 3. The red-crowned crane (bird), 4. The lychee fruit.I choose Japan as my country because I've heard a lot of urben legends, I love there Cherry Blossom tree's and I am a third Asian.
